PhD: AI-assisted discovery of chiral perovskites in nanophotonic environments

Work Activities
AI-assisted discovery of chiral perovskite (quantum) emitters. You will leverage an AI-assisted materials optimization robot being developed at AMOLF as a route to rapid, closed-loop synthesis and characterization across large perovskite parameter spaces. You will optimize directly for figures of merit such as chirality, emission wavelength, brightness, and stability. Because optical excitation of perovskites can move atoms around, sculpting the optical field in time and space can enable programmable optical functions. By conducting approximately 1 million optical experiments in parallel using a spatial light modulator and hyperspectral camera, you will explore chemical and processing landscapes in days that would otherwise take a student a lifetime to cover systematically. Special attention will be paid to 2D and related low-dimensional perovskites, with the aim to understand if intrinsically strong material chirality is a necessary condition for reac...
